    Guarantee these are all leveraged transactions. All the liquidity is being drained out of the system minute by minute so those 'asset prices' can't hold that level.

    Ok thirsty here you go.

    Jan. 14: WHO announces Chinese authorities have seen "no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus."

    Jan. 20
    • Zhong Nanshan, a top Chinese doctor who is helping to coordinate the coronavirus response, announces the virus can be passed between people.
    Jan 29: The White House forms a coronavirus response task force, initially led by Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar.

    Jan. 30:

    The W.H.O. declared a global health emergency.
    Amid thousands of new cases in China, a “public health emergency of international concern” was officially declared by the W.H.O. China’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said that it would continue to work with the W.H.O. and other countries to protect public health, and the U.S. State Department warned travelers to avoid China.

    JAN. 31

    The Trump administration restricted travel from China
    The Trump administration suspended entry into the United States by any foreign nationals who had traveled to China in the past 14 days, excluding the immediate family members of American citizens or permanent residents. By this date, 213 people had diedand nearly 9,800 had been infected worldwide.

    march 11 WHO declares a pandemic.

    March 13 Trump declares national emergency.


    It wasn’t until January 20th that the world health organization knew it was even possible to spread from human to human. By that time it was already too late. It had most likely already crossed every border in the world. So do you hold all world leaders responsible or is it just trump?

    The bottom line: China lied to the world and allowed this to get out of control hence a worldwide pandemic. Trump was repeating what EVERYONE was saying in January. In February NGFY!

    What about Forbes magazine?

    Media moguls running for office does raise eyebrows about objectivity in all honesty.

    Lol, I like how in your "Not a Republican" interpretation, Donald J. Trump, the US government, The National Security apparatus, the DoD, DHS, HHS, etc - all have to read the WHO's website in order to track the epidemic and have no duty or means to follow it otherwise.

    This is morally and obviously wrong much like when you pulled the lever for Trump and the result is catastrophe, death and destruction.

    Here's a good summation of all the times Trump failed all of which of course you've omitted, as you're the kind of idiot who would pull the lever for Trump. I'm going to go ahead and BOLD THE DATES for your perusal and also use a BIG FONT

    July 2019 — CDC’s Beijing chief not replaced

    For years, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funded a position based in Beijing that was tasked with monitoring potential outbreaks of disease in China. When Dr. Linda Quick found out that the position would be discontinued in September 2019, she left the job two months early, and no one ever replaced her, according to a Reuters report published last month.

    "It was heartbreaking to watch," Dr. Bao-Ping Zhu, who served in the role during the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama, told Reuters. "If someone had been there, public health officials and governments across the world could have moved much faster."

    In response, Trump waved off the Reuters report and others reporting on the CDC as “100 percent wrong.”

    That wasn’t the only public health position the administration abandoned in China. Over the past three years, a CDC team working on global health security in China has been reduced from 50 people to 14, according to a report by the nonprofit Environmental Data and Governance Initiative published last month.

    The cuts to public health could have been even worse if Congress had gone along with Trump’s suggestions. Oklahoma Republican Rep. Tom Cole, who helped stop cuts back in 2017, told Vox at the time: “I promise you the president is much more likely in his term to have a deal with a pandemic than an act of terrorism.”


    November 2019 — NCMI warnings not heeded


    The aforementioned NCMI report was based on computer and wire intercepts and satellite images, and came a month before the government in Wuhan confirmed that dozens of cases were being treated.

    "The timeline of the intel side of this may be further back than we’re discussing," a source with knowledge of the report told ABC News. "But this was definitely being briefed beginning at the end of November as something the military needed to take a posture on.”


    Asked by ABC News on Sunday if the Pentagon received the NCMI assessment, Defense Secretary Esper said he “can’t recall,” but that “we have many people who watch this closely.”

    January and February 2020 — Trade adviser’s warnings ignored

    Peter Navarro, Trump’s top trade adviser for the past three years, warned the White House multiple times in January and February that the coronavirus could kill up to 2 million Americans, according to memos obtained by the New York Times and Axios on Tuesday.

    In the first memo, Navarro called for an immediate travel ban from China, and said as many as 543,000 people could die. In the second, his projections heightened significantly.

    "There is an increasing probability of a full-blown COVID-19 pandemic that could infect as many as 100 million Americans, with a loss of life of as many as 1-2 million souls,” Navarro wrote in the second memo dated February 23.


    At the time of the first memo, other top White House officials reportedly dismissed Navarro’s warnings as the rantings of an isolationist crank. “The January travel memo struck me as an alarmist attempt to bring attention to Peter’s anti-China agenda while presenting an artificially limited range of policy options,” a senior administration official told Axios.

    On Tuesday, Trump told reporters he didn’t see the memos. “I didn’t see them. I didn’t look for them,” he said.

    More recently, Navarro has reportedly clashed behind the scenes with Dr. Anthony Fauci, a top advisor in the coronavirus task force who leads the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease, over the use of the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine to treat the virus.

    Asked by CNN what his qualifications were to disagree with Fauci, Navarro, who has an economics Ph.D. from Harvard, responded: “Doctors disagree about things all the time. My qualifications in terms of looking at the science is that I'm a social scientist.”

    January and February 2020 — Intelligence agencies repeatedly warn White House about threat

    Around the same time Navarro began cautioning the White House about the dangers the coronavirus posed, U.S. intelligence agencies were issuing their own classified warnings about the virus, according to a Washington Post report published last month.

    Read: Trump accused the World Health Organization of helping China cover up the coronavirus crisis


    The reports didn’t suggest specific steps that should be taken, the Post said, but tracked the spread of COVID-19 in China and other countries and “warned that Chinese officials appeared to be minimizing the severity of the outbreak.” By early February, the “majority of the intelligence reporting” in daily DNI and CIA briefings and digests were about the coronavirus, according to the Post.

    In response to the report, White House spokesperson Hogan Gidley said that it’s “more than disgusting, despicable and disgraceful for cowardly unnamed sources to attempt to rewrite history — it’s a clear threat to this great country.”

    “Donald Trump may not have been expecting this, but a lot of other people in the government were — they just couldn’t get him to do anything about it,” an official told the Post. “The system was blinking red.”

    A new congressional panel has been formed to oversee the coronavirus stimulus, but Rep. Jim Clyburn, a top House Democrat, said this week that the panel would be “forward-looking” and won’t scrutinize Trump’s early decisions. If there’s enough of a public outcry, they may not have a choice.

    Others have already assigned blame. “The months the administration wasted with prevarication about the threat and its subsequent missteps will amount to exponentially more COVID-19 cases than were necessary,” the Boston Globe editorial board wrote in a recent editorial. “In other words, the president has blood on his hands.”

    TL;DR? TRUMP DID NOTHING FOR MONTHS AND THOUSANDS ARE DYING BECAUSE HE IS TOO LAZY AND STUPID TO PROTECT YOU

    Actually, that's a generous take on behalf of Trump - not only did he do nothing, but he was actively peddling disinformation that acclerated the crisis.

    And to think, you voted for that. Think about it when you see tomorrow's horrifying body count and record breaking jobless claims number (again)

    Everyone knows both are true:
    1. Trump is crazy, stupid, idiot. His twitter feed alone is responsible for making the USA a laughingstock of the world.
    2. The Chinese gov't is evil to its core and everyone should be criticizing it as much as possible, all the time.
